Downey parents to face murder charges after death of infant

Downey police Friday said the parents of a 4-month-old girl face charges of murder and neglect after her death was deemed a homicide.

Officers were called to an Imperial Highway apartment Tuesday, where they found the baby unresponsive and started performing CPR, according to the Downey Police Department. Paramedics arrived, and the child was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Police said that after an autopsy, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office ruled the girl's death a homicide.
